the very 1st day i got this P5K deluxe wifi .. the bios didnt detect 1 of my HDD
but i left the assembling of the rig to complete till the next day coz too late at nite liauu .. the next day it worked .. dunno why oso

then few days ago i removed mobo from casing to fit in new cooler .. unplugged all cables etc etc
then when fixed everything back .. it didnt detect one of my HDD and 1 sata optical .. plug and unplugged at least 5-6 times but it couldnt detect

so i tot might as well have a flash at the BIOS .. from 0603 to 0809 versions .. then all the trouble starts coming
it could detect my 2 troubled sata devices .. but not all the time
then it wont boot up from cd/dvd/thumbdrive
cannot OC without doing manual F8 select to boot
optical go crazee on off by itself when using windows but no cd/dvd inside

now ok liauu ... duno why suddenly ok .. but still buggy laa ..
can boot up and OC as usual but temp readings very different from previous BIOS ... the settings in BIOS oso different .. maybe just a matter of taste

now still ok ... tomoro dunno laa .. i already written to ASUS and ask them whats the prob .. they have not replied yet
i spoke to my fren in ASUS .. i might get it RMA-ed then maybe go get the P5E laaa ..

edit .. the best BIOs version to stick with is still the 0603 version laa IMO .. stable and logical OC functions .. hehehehe

load oso already 70C .. wanna UP you OC sommo ah ??
there is only ONE WAY to go higher .. that is increase vcore to supplement your FSB or multiplier increase .. and oso more vdimm laa for your DIMMs .. hehehe
that being said .. everything is increase VOLTAGE .. more voltage = more heat ... can u handle it ??? hehehehe

using 0603 bios .. temp reading of CPU (using everest) is almost always 4-5C higher than the individual cores (everest/coretemp)
using 0809 bios .. temp reading of CPU (everest) is about 12C lower than the highest individual cores (everest/coretemp)

which one is the actual correct one ?? hehehehe .. unless u got laser temp measurement device .. there is no way to ascertain the real temp
i dont use the ASUS software provided .. ie. probe and intelligent suite

one more thing about ASUS EZ FLASH BIOS .. it will not let u flash your BIOS back to an older version than the current one .. so THINK CAREFULLY b4 u flash .. hahaha
the UPDATE TOOL oso doesnt work in order to flash older bios

however there is one thing that might work but i couldnt get it to work as it should .. any ideas or tips guys ???
i booted from 3.5inch (borrowed) MS-DOS and oso couldnt get it to work ...

if anyone manage to do it .. please teach me how .. hehehe
i oso wanna flash back to older version BIOS firmware laa

whats your load temp for the Q6600 ?? u use which software to stress test ??

i wanted to ask for the 3.7 OC one la ... 3.4 one is there la i can see

anybody wanna mail me their copy of ENGINEERING AFUDOS for back flashing ?? hehehehe

ok .. thanks ... will try and see what happens ..

thanks .. u got PM
